The bottom cover and the housing are generally assembled and fixed by an interference fit structure or a bayonet structure. In this way, in the process of pressing and fixing the PCB board with the bottom cover, there is a certain risk that the PCB board or the components on it may be damaged by the bottom cover, thus affecting the product quality. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a housing, which mainly solves the technical problem that there may be a risk of damage to the PCB board or the components on it when using a bottom cover to fix the PCB board in the housing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A housing is applied to a sound - emitting device for steering, and includes a housing body. An installation cavity is formed inside the housing body. A stepped embedding hole for installing a PCB board is formed at the open end of the installation cavity. A rotary clamping groove for rotatably clamping and fixing with a clamping protrusion on the PCB board is formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole.

[0006] Further, the rotary clamping groove includes a vertical guiding groove vertically formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole and a horizontal locking groove horizontally formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole. The vertical guiding groove and the horizontal locking groove communicate with each other, and the upper end of the vertical guiding groove extends to the end face of the stepped embedding hole.

[0007] Further, the vertical guiding groove and the horizontal locking groove communicate with each other to form an L - shaped clamping groove structure, and the bottom surface of the horizontal locking groove is flush with the stepped bottom surface of the stepped embedding hole.

[0008] Further, the groove height of the horizontal locking groove is configured to be tapered from the starting end connected to the vertical guiding groove to the end - tail end direction, so that the horizontal locking groove can form an interference fit with the clamping protrusion on the PCB board to be assembled.

[0009] Further, a plurality of rotary clamping grooves are formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole.

[0010] Further, two rotary clamping grooves are formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole, and the two rotary clamping grooves are symmetrically formed on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing is cylindrical, and the stepped embedding hole is a circular hole structure.

[0012] Based on the same inventive concept, the present utility model also provides an assembly structure of a housing and a PCB board, including a PCB board and any one of the above-mentioned housings. Among them, the PCB board has a circular structure adapted to the stepped embedding hole, and a clamping convex portion for rotatably clamping and fixing with the rotary clamping groove on the inner wall of the stepped embedding hole is provided at the circumferential position of the PCB board. The clamping convex portion and the vertical guiding groove cooperate with each other to guide the embedding process of the PCB board in the stepped embedding hole. And when the PCB board is embedded in the stepped embedding hole in place, by rotating the PCB board to drive the clamping convex portion to rotate and snap into the transverse locking groove, the PCB board and the housing are locked together.

[0013] Furthermore, the depth of the stepped embedding hole is greater than the thickness of the PCB board, and when the PCB board is installed in the stepped embedding hole in place, sealant is filled in the remaining part of the stepped embedding hole.

There is no need to use a bottom cover to press and fix the PCB board. Thus, compared with the existing method of using a bottom cover to press and fix the PCB board in the housing, the use of the bottom cover is omitted, the production cost of the product is saved, and the assembly process of the PCB board and the housing is also simplified, which is beneficial to improving the product assembly efficiency.

The vertical guiding groove 131 and the horizontal locking groove 132 communicate with each other to form an L-shaped clamping groove structure, and the bottom surface of the horizontal locking groove 132 is flush with the stepped bottom surface of the stepped embedding hole 12. In this embodiment, during assembly, the clamping protrusion 21 on the PCB board 2 first snaps into the corresponding vertical guiding groove 131, and then the PCB board 2 is pressed down so that the PCB board 2 sinks into the stepped embedding hole 12 of the housing 1 until the PCB board 2 abuts against the stepped bottom surface of the stepped embedding hole 12. Then, the PCB board 2 is rotated by a certain angle in a predetermined direction until the clamping protrusion 21 on the PCB board 2 rotates to abut against the end position of the extension of the horizontal locking groove 132.
